TWELVE REASONS.

The Occur d Alene Sun gives the fol.
lowing.twelve reasons FOR going to Wash
ington Territory. and challenges any and
all persons to refuie them.
"In the first place, Idaho, as now con
stituted, will not become a state in the
next twenty years. The territory now
has not over $4,000 population, and the
features Of its geography are such that
its growth will not be as rapid as repre-
scented by the South Idaho poll icians.
End The feeling between South and
North Idaho isnot one of a friendly nature
This was shown in the last legislature,
when that body refused to grant the four
Northern counties the number of mem.
bers they were entitled to by their vote
fol delegate.
Bird. Because the four Northern
counties geographically belong to Wash
ineton Territory The only way to
reach the present capital is by passing
through Washington and Oregon on the
west or Montana on the east. For liti-
giants to 90 to Boise to the Supreme
court costs twice as much as to go to a
central point in Washington. and insane
aud prisoners to the public institutions
entail double expense,
4th. There is neither commercial
nor social intercourse between North and
South Idaho, and it is physically impos
slble 70 establish any on ac:ount of the
natural barriers.
9th. The taxation law of Idaho are
extortionate and prohibitory. Instead
of decreasing the territorial rate the last
legislature increased it. although the
territorial officers report nearly twenty
per cent more taxable wealth than in the
preceding years.
9th. Because as a territory, With no
prospective show of Statehood, we have
no voice IN the national halls of legisla-
ton to aid us in securing protection for
our silver and lead industries.
9TH. Because as a territory we have
no voice in national elections. The
right of elective franchise is denied us.
9Th. because IS territory the poo
pie who endure the toll and hardships
of pioneer life, to enrich the nation in
lands and wealth, are vassals, denied tho
right OF self government and are subject.
ed to the caprice Of every Administration.
9th. Because as territory we are
denied the postal facilities granted to
states, and appropriations to make our
splendid rivers navigable,
10Th. Because as territory we are
denied the right 90 select our own dis.
trlct and supreme court judges, our gov
ernor ana other officers.
llth. Because as territory our
lands remain unsurveyed and our settlers
are harassed by land commissioners.
18th. Because as territory we are
prevented from making our own laws.
These are the main reasons why we
want to leave Idaho and 20 to Washing
ton with the certainty of immediate state
hood, the prospects of which are better
now than Idaho will be in twenty years.
We repeat, and challenge contradiction
from any source, that Idaho at the pres
ent day has not got over 5000 inhabi-
tants, and that the governor misstated
the facts when he placed them at 97,25O.
We have taken the Governors own
figures and shown them to be wrong
from beginning to end.

The Views and Observations of a
Citizen of Idaho County

b. f. Morris, Esq, arrived in town on
Thursday night from the Occur d'Alene
mines He has tarried in the mines
some four OF five weeks, visiting all the
principal camps, and making close OBJ
servation of things there, and hearing
the views Of the people Of all classes in
relation to mines, rsiIroad, annexation,
&C., and from what he has learned, he is
convinced that the mines are good,
though some of them have been greatly
overrated, that the same or equal amount
Of money and labor expended in other
districts in North Idaho, would have
been attended with equal and even great.
er success. The most permanent, he
thinks, are in the south fork portion of
the district, where the silver is shown to
be rich and the hedges apparently large
and promise greater richness as depth is
attained. lie does not place much con
fidence in the gold Development thus
far made. OF the railroad situation, he
says that the Northern Pacific has the
advantage; that the 0. r. & N, and
Union Pacific, he thinks, will not further
contend, since the division of territory
between the N. p, and the other CON-
panics. He thinks the ores of those
mines will mostly be taken westward to
Tacoma or to Portland. One road is
already completed to Wallace and will
be extended to Burke and perhaps be-
You'd. Rumors of the Manitoba being
extended in that direction are rife, but
he says nothing Of definite character
is yet developed as to the intentions of
the Manitobans. Spokane Falls is press
ing matters to have the road come that
way, but the Clearwater and Snake river
route, he thinks, stands decidedly the
best chance Of getting that road, if we
put forth reasonable effort to induce
the company to come this route. 1t has
the advantage of country, climate, grades,
permanent and growing population and
agricultural wealth. In regard to
annexation, his observation teaches him
that large majority of the population
Of the mines prefer to be attached to
Washington Territory, to either remain.
ing in Idaho or going to Montana. He
says that petitions for going to Wash
ington Territory were being circulated
and very generally signed among bust
ness men and but little discussion did he
hear in regard to remaining in Idaho or
going to Montana in that part Of Shoe
hone county, and he was made to believe
that large majority Of the people of
kootenai county preferred to become
attached to Washington Territory and
with her to become state, than to take
their chances with either Montana, or TO
remain in Idaho with her remote chances
OF ever becoming a state during the
present eneratiul
